The ‘Australian Time Lapse Montage’ project is the culmination of almost one years work in various locations around NSW and South Australia (Lake Eyre) for a variety of clients plus shoots completed on my own time simply to experiment and push the boundaries of DSLR time lapse cinematography.

A revolution has occurred in the use of a hybrid still/video cameras (HDSLR’s) making it possible to record high quality 1080 HD footage shooting with large variety of 35mm lenses. We're now able to shoot jaw-dropping filmic sequences with shallow depth of field and low-light performance due to the high-quality, wide-aperture lenses used.

My latest assignment took me to the rainforests of North Sulawesi, Indonesia to film ‘Tarsier Towers’, a 25 part series for Five that blends natural history with soap opera. We weren’t working with actors however but one of the world’s smallest primates – the spectral tarsier.

I am a photographer working on long-term, remote landscape projects producing series of large-scale prints for exhibitions. The images are essentially about ‘space’, and the effect representations of space or emptiness have on the human mind. This has led me to spending many years alone in locations such as the middle of Lake Eyre and for the last four years, working on the Greenland Icecap.
